That's why the juveniles are reluctant to come forward.

The judge in the Ayres case has pretty much mollycoddled Ayres and his lawyers. From what I've read on the case in Ohio, the prosecutors were really on the ball. They stumbled into the case after they learned that the twins were giving unprescribed drugs to kids. One of the kids confided that he'd been molested. And that's when the Hamilton County DA in Ohio really launched an incredibly thorough investigation into the good doctors. They sure mean busines out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166908879185923782.post-54793138829346902552009-10-17T12:50:16.341-07:002009-10-17T12:50:16.341-07:00I wonder if the difference between molestation tri...I wonder if the difference between molestation trials between Ohio and California is that there is a different culture in California then there is for other states, particularly the Midwest states or thereabouts. As a Minnesotan I think of California as being more liberal/open to different things. (No offense to Californians who are on this blog).<br /><br />Also, regarding the Ohio trial as well as the trial to be, it sure shows how some identical twins can mirror each other--even with molestations!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166908879185923782.post-25891262915966804982009-10-17T07:10:20.085-07:002009-10-17T07:10:20.085-07:00It sure is a big shame that the San Mateo PD didn&...It sure is a big shame that the San Mateo PD didn't get the right search warrant. The Ayres case was a whole lot less complicated than the Blankenburg twins case. Many of us see no excuse for not getting the warrant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166908879185923782.post-34482676175275528302009-10-17T05:32:52.059-07:002009-10-17T05:32:52.059-07:00I've been reading the news stories on this, an...I've been reading the news stories on this, and this case is a million times more complex than the Ayres trial. So how come the Ohio jury got it together and the Ayres one couldn't?<br />Excerpt from WBKN news report:<br /><br />HAMILTON (AP) — A broad range of charges against twin brother pediatricians accused of molesting some of their patients, with some allegations dating back 20 years, make the legal case particularly challenging for the judge and jury, legal experts said.<br /><br />Dr. Mark Blankenburg, 53, went on trial Monday in this city about 30 miles north of Cincinnati. He faces 41 charges involving sex, drugs, bribery, money laundering and compelling prostitution.<br /><br />His brother, Dr. Scott Blankenburg, goes on trial in April on 22 charges that are similar but do not include drug counts. Both have pleaded not guilty. The doctors have been ordered not to be with minors and have agreed not to practice medicine while their cases are pending.<br /><br />Adding to the complexity, the judge in the current trial is determining some counts and the jury is deciding others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
